Críticas:
There's simply no better way of comprehending Washington and Adams than reading this book.... Morgan is a supremely artful historian. Masking his commanding authority (in this and in his other books) is a puckish ease and an utterly smooth prose style that managers to be at once conversational and incisive. - Atlantic ""Characterized by the author's customary subtlety and penetration.... [The Meaning of Independence] represents an attempt to open up this complicated subject through separate portraits of John Adams, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson."" - Journal of American History ""With the wit, grace, and sense of irony we have come to expect from him, Morgan seeks to discover 'the meaning of independence' for the Revolutionary generation and indeed, for our own.... Morgan is not only a brilliant historian but a superb storyteller as well."" - Choice ""[Morgan] knows the eighteenth century better than most of us know our living room. His name is a guarantee of sound scholarship, and we can expect imaginative insight and meticulous and subtle presentation; we are not disappointed."" - History Review of Books
Reseña del editor:
The Meaning of Independence, first published in 1976, has become one of the standard short works on the first three presidents of the United States - George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. When the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association and the Organization of American Historians asked 1,500 historians to name the ten best books about George Washington, this book was one of those selected.

Descripción Softcover. Condición: new. Americans did not at first cherish the idea of political severance from their mother country. In just a few years, however, they came to desire indepen-dence above all else. What brought about this change of feeling and how did it affect the lives of their citizens? To answer these questions, Edmund S. Morgan looks at three men who may fairly be called the "architects of independence," the first presidents of the United States. Anecdotes from their letters and diaries recapture the sense of close identity many early Americans felt with their countrys political struggles. Through this perspective, Morgan examines the growth of independence from its initial declaration and discovers something of its meaning, for three men who responded to its challenge and for the nation that they helped create.The Meaning of Independence, first published in 1976, has become one of the standard short works on the first three presidents of the United States-George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. When the Mount Vernon Ladies Association and the Organization of American Historians asked 1,500 historians to name the ten best books about George Washington, this book was one of those selected. In this updated edition, the author provides a new preface to address a few remaining concerns he has pondered in the quarter century since first publication.Tag:A classic work on the founding by the author of the bestselling Benjamin Franklin.
